Flight Simulator Blog was created for aviation enthusiasts, bridging the gap between real-world flying and the virtual skies of modern simulators. Dedicated to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12, the blog offers insights drawn from the author’s extensive aviation background. With more than 25 years in flight simulation, 15 years as a licensed pilot, and 5 years as a flight instructor, the author combines real cockpit knowledge with a passion for simulation. In addition, several years of experience training virtual air traffic controllers add a unique perspective to the content.
Since launching in the summer of 2020, Flight Simulator Blog has built a following across its website and social media platforms. Among its most popular resources is the continuously updated guide “Performance Boost Tricks for MSFS,” which remains the site’s most-read article.
The blog also became known for creating community freeware. At the end of 2020, it released the highly anticipated “Trees Draw Distance Fix” mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. This enhancement significantly extended the draw distance of autogen trees, improving realism for VFR navigation. Available exclusively through the blog, the mod gained popularity until Sim Update 3 rendered it incompatible.
Today, Flight Simulator Blog continues to grow with fresh content for flight sim enthusiasts while adding a real-world aviation twist. From simulator guides and performance tips to reflections on actual piloting experiences, the blog connects the virtual and real skies, offering readers a unique perspective that blends passion, authenticity, and expertise.
For any comments, questions, or feedback related to the blog, readers are encouraged to reach out through the contact form below. The author welcomes discussions with fellow enthusiasts and is always happy to connect with the flight simulation and aviation community.
